While Amazon Prime Day has come and gone for 2021, the retail giant still has plenty of deals still live in Australia, including some especially choice discounts on some seriously solid headphones.
This includes the lowest price ever on the five-star Sony WH-1000XM4 – the current industry leaders in wireless noise-cancelling headphones – as well as a few popular Bose, Sennheiser and Panasonic over-ear cans and true wireless in-ear buds.
If you're in the market for some true-wireless buds, it's worth noting that all four pairs of the pairs we have listed below received the full five stars in What Hi-Fi? reviews, so you can be sure you're getting a quality pair of buds no matter which ones you pick.
For a full list of the deals still live, you can visit our Amazon Prime Day page and have a browse, but below we're highlighting the best headphone discounts that Amazon Australia currently has to offer.
